/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I worked in a very popular san deigo bar for 2 years. I was the best god damn dishwasher that establishment had ever seen. i wish i could do as well in other things as i did this fucking job
>start as dish washer
>ended as line cook washing dishes
>hired one summer, its a 3 person job
>started by myself, 1 person doing a 3 person job
>it was hard, but I figured out a way to make it work
>I didn't just make it work, I excelled, I rearranged the whole dish pit and back dish storage making the area into a one man assembly line.
>like a fucking autist i learn to time the sound of the order ticker and relatively how long it takes for food to be made, eaten and back on the bus tray and in my dish pit.
>is the order ticket going off a lot? expect a surge of dishes in 10 mins or so
>slow ticker?20-30 mins, mabey an hour if the bussers are lazy
>half the time i was also bussing because the servers were lazy dumb blondes and chads
>i could solo a busy football weekend and almost make it without overtime.
>they eventually hire another guy months later, hes a braindead nigger who listens to 4 hour long rap songs about mac and cheese, no really.
>i get promoted to prep cook. did some cooking school like a retard, I'm ok at being prep.
>the nigger is, well a nigger and cant do it, they never hired a #2 to help him.
>he gets fired and i get moved back to dishes "temporarily"
>they don't bother hiring anyone else for dish pit for the next year its just me.
>they cant hire someone else, they can move me to prep or cook, but they cant find anyone else who can do it, if I'm working dishes, another guy there is actually more of a determent then a help.
>so I'm now a cook acting as a one man dish washer for a 3 person job
>shortly before i move on, they do hire a new guy.
>they are giving him hell because i raised the bar too damn high and they are too lazy to hire another 2 people.
